Give the postman a chance - remember to have an available mailbox

Are you waiting for letters? Check if your postman has a chance to reach you with a shipment or has the option of leaving a notification of a shipping waiting for you.

In the work of postmen, there is often a problem caused by the lack of access to the inboxes, as well as the complete lack of boxes and the lack of marking the property with plates with the name of the street or town and the house number.

Does the postman have difficult access to your mailbox? If so, you can change it by influencing the cooperative or a housing community so that they change the location of the boxes and allow the postmen to access free to them.

As a resident of a single -family building, do you have a pick -up in the place available to the postman? Each owner or co -owner of a residential property or the land on which the residential building is located is obliged to place a mailbox in an easily accessible place. This issue is regulated by the Postal Law. Having a box also affects the quality and effectiveness of the correspondence supplied.

The owners of the property where the residential building and the owners of residential buildings are located are obliged to place a mailbox that meets the legally specific requirements.  In single -family buildings, the postal box should be located in front of the building door or in a public part of the property. In multi -family buildings, where there are more than 3 premises, the box must be located in the public part. Each place is a separate mailbox.

The ubiquitous balance of housing estates means that postmen have a problem with getting to the property, and thus providing correspondence. In many cases, the boxes are placed behind the gates of fenced housing estates, where there is often no one to let the postman onto the cage. Unfortunately, cooperatives and housing communities are not willing to make available to postmen codes or keys or to locate boxes so that there is free access to them. One such example is a housing estate in a large city - the boxes are located behind closed doors, so every day the postman is forced to pick up almost 120 unmarked keys/chips at the reception, with the help of which he tries to get to places where the boxes are located.

When the postman's access to mailboxes is difficult, Poczta Polska appears to the owner/co -owner of the premises with a request to place departure boxes in accordance with applicable regulations or to transfer "input codes" or keys for free access. Heads of local structures of Poczta Polska also cooperate with municipal offices, reminding their residents about the obligations arising from generally applicable regulations.

In order for postal parcels to reach the addressee, you must also take care of their correct addressing and providing correct address data, e.g. while online purchases. Detailed information can be found in the correct addressing guide and list of postal codes .

We also remind you of the possibility of using the recommended service to the box . Thanks to this solution, you do not have to worry about the expiry of the letter receipt and run to the post office. The service consists in throwing addressed shipments into the letter box. In addition, Poczta Polska may inform you that the addressed registered mail has been delivered. It is enough that when you submit an on-line application,  you provide a phone number or e-mail address.

Another interesting solution is E-Info: Advizo. Free service, enabling you to receive information about the expectation of a parcel in a post office . Information is sent by SMS or e-mail, depending on the customer's choice. Such an instruction can be submitted to any post office or online. However, in the case of letters in criminal, civil, judicial and administrative, tax, administrative and letters in the case of violation of public finance discipline, customers will receive a notification in paper form, because they oblige generally applicable provisions.
